Topic — Dedication: Existence on Fire for God
[Seeds of Destiny 26 March 2019 Devotional]
The Scripture makes it clear that God created us in order for us to live for Him (Isaiah 43:21). To worship God is to be dedicated to Him. Worship is a mark of dedication to God. When a person is dedicated to God in worship, he attracts God’s Presence.
SCRIPTURE: And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; Numbers 25:7.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A dedicated person is an excited, exciting and excitable person.
The Scripture makes it clear that God created us in order for us to live for Him (Isaiah 43:21). To worship God is to be dedicated to Him. Worship is a mark of dedication to God. When a person is dedicated to God in worship, he attracts God’s Presence.
Now, what is dedication? Dedication is existence on fire for God. Our anchor Scripture makes us to understand that Phinehas took a Javelin in his hands to execute Judgment against an Israelite who erred against God (Numbers 25:7); he (Phinehas) did that to appease God because he was burning with the fire of dedication for God. So, dedication to God means existence on fire for God.
Now, what does it mean to exist on fire for God? It is:
i. Existence in intense passion for God
Existence on fire for God means existence in intense passion for God (James 5:17). A dedicated person is a passionate person; he is a person of intense, palpable and infectious passion for God. When you come around him, you would want to serve God. A non-dedicated person on the other hand, is a passive and indifferent person.
ii. Being excited in anything that excites God
Existence on fire for God is being excited in anything that excites God (Psalm 122:1). Anything that excites God excites a dedicated person. A dedicated person is an excited, exciting and excitable person. He is an exciting person when it comes to the things of God. When a person is a not dedicated to God, other things excite him but not God or the things of God.
My counsel is, make up your mind to be on fire for God always.
Remember this: A dedicated person is an excited, exciting and excitable person.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1.Get closer to God for an impartation of stronger passion for Him.
2.Decide to love what God loves and hate what He hates.
PRAYER: O Lord, I receive the grace to be excited in anything that excites You. Help me to be on fire for You constantly, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
